Hospice Services & Bereavement Services

Hospice Services

Designed to give palliative care to patients in their final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, under the direction of a physician. The patient is able to stay in their home, be comfortable, and free of pain, so they can live each day as fully as possible.

Hospice also provides support for the patient's emotional, social, spiritual, and nutritional needs, in addition to providing medications to control pain, manage other symptoms, and physical, occupational, speech therapy per physician orders. Hospice provides continuous home care at times of crisis, and bereavement services using a multidisciplinary team approach.
